We all need a little color in our lives and DG2 has just that for you – that and more! Choose a summer vacation destination… Maybe you love island hopping so it’s off to St. Barth! Or you long for the stroll down Collins Avenue in sunny Palm Beach. Or you’re off on that European tour. Then again, maybe it’s just lounging by your pool and backyard barbeques with friends and family.

Whatever your summer game plan is, we’ve got you covered–in beautiful, drapey, dreamy caftans, cute easy, cropped jeans, beautifully-embellished tees, and our newest fashion creation the oh-so-flattering Palazzo Pant. Choose from sorbet colors that will make your mouth water, lift your spirits and give your complexion a boost.

Summertime is yummy! So please join us for a celebration of the season in June, the gateway to Summer Fashion!

XOXO, D

    I have been a fan for almost 20 years, yes there was a shop near by that carried some of your stuff! please Diane – don’t discontinue the wide leg jean – the boot just doesn’t work since the cut was changed – (I had found a pair of the boot at a consignment shop that fit great), trouser was also a great fit! loved the grape color in the boot but had to send back because of fit problems – please don’t abandon those of us who love those styles!

  • tnsky says:

    Diane, Please, my- boot cut jeggings- are all getting thread bare. I love them so much. Out of eight, I am down to one good pair and I baby them. I would even fly to the factory and pick them up.:) Thanks Diane for all the great jeans!

  • Hi Diane! Love u and your clothes! I love your jeansbut REALLY think they would be improved by a larger pocket in the back. The other jeans I own have larger pockets that make my bottom appear smaller. A tiny pocket on such a large area makes my bottom look bigger! I would LOVE IT if you could play with different pocket options. I think u may be surprised on how a new pocket and placement could make our bottoms appear smaller!REALLY!! Could be a new relaunch! I TRULY believe in this. PLEASE?!?!?

    • I wanted to add that I am a jean addict! I came to figure out that one thing that makes jeans look good on me are the placement of the pockets on the backside-the size and the location. When I wear your jeans, I have to wear something to cover my bottom because the pockets are so tiny it makes my bottom appear bigger I think a slightly larger pocket at a different angle could make our bottoms look even better! Maybe play w/ some diff pocket ideas-change the back pockets-but not the jeans!

    Dear Diane,
    I am so exited about my first Diane Gilman purchases. I hope you READ and ANSWER your bloggers. I recently purchased the DG2 Sleeveless Laser Cut Eyelet Tunic and want to purchase leggings, jeggings, or skinny jeans to match. The Tunic is LIME. I love the neon lime crop leggings,but did not know if they were the perfect match. I noticed other lime colors listed pale lime or just lime. I like the tye-dyed stretch denim jeans in pale lime. HELP! WHAT MATCHES THE TUNIC?

  • skyley says:

    Diane,
    Where is the top that is pictured with 179-135 jeans. I looked through all your tops and can’t find it.

  • Crestchvy says:

    Diane,
    I love your tops, but unless the are made where I can shorten them, I have to keep returning them. Please, please, make your tops in Petite!!!! Sometimes I have to return jeans I love because I can’t find a top to match. I’m 5′2″

  • sammy92 says:

    Diane; like so many others I just want to thankyou!You have given me my life back!I am not sure what those gals look like that can wear some of the jeans I have tried on but they aren’t human!
    I have gotten four boot cut jeans today.I have when they come 14!
    Everything you have said is true!I got a part time job to get more of your jeans!
    Can’t wait till my boyfriend comes!
    Take care You are awesome!

  • AVR161 says:

    Hi,
    I LOVE Diane, & her jeans. I must own at least 7-9 pair. However I am not a “child of the 60’s”, and truly dislike all this tie-dye hippie stuff. I live in NYC, and no one I know wears it.

    I have started my Fall wardrobe shopping and ALL my friends and I are all into Shoulder Details. Some have small shoulder pads which makes my waist and hips look tiny. I am a size 6 in Designer and an 8 in Better.

    Will ANY of your designers be offering Shoulder Details? Diane, how about you?

  • Angel60805 says:

    Diane, I too will turn 67 in August and I must tell you that I have been watching you for years on HSN and always wanted to wear a real pair of jeans, by real I mean one with a zipper. I have gotten so tired of elastic waists, I ordered your jeans and my best friend asked me how much weight I had lost. I couldn’t believe it. I love you and your jeans. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

  • kiaone says:

    Diane…consider making a pocketed scarf (along the lines of the Julian Pocket Scarf) out of soft/strong, light weight material (maybe jean material and different colors) that could be used during all seasons. Maybe with a snap/velcro towards the bottom so the scarf could be worn cross-body in warm weather. With just a phone/wallet/keys most of the time, I hate to take a purse when I go out.

    Love the Shaping Jeggings. Please make a Cropped version for the warmer weather (I live in Florida).

  • loveofstyle2 says:

    Need more Womens TALL .My size Always sells out first. There is such a demand for that size. Why doesnt HSN bring more of them in???

    • blupaisley says:

      I have a question. Do DG2 indigo jeans shink a little when washed and do they give or stretch a little after wearing them a few hours? I’ve purchased my first pair and they’re a little to tight for me, but I love them. I don’t know whether to send them back for the next larger size or keep them.
      Thank you.

  • sabri says:

    Diane, Have you ever considered doing your line, but for teenagers! You should do your line for Juniors! LIke the other brands, XOXO, Levy’s, etc, etc. With your colors, you could do A-line skirts,in jean materials, for juniors, of course, as well as jeans. They would “eat them up.” I know I would by a bunch. Unfortunately, we cannot use your line,as the size 2 is way too big in the waist, thighs, etc., for teenagers that wear a size 0, 1, or 3 in juniors. Just a thought – I think it is an

  • Diane, I have been a fan of your clothing for many years, and love the uniqueness of your styles. I have a request for you to make the boot cut jegging with the appliques, etc…so that those of us who can’t wear the zipper front style (surgeries) can feel as fashionable as other women do.
    You are gifted in your styling and fit of jeans for women of all ages. I am 62 and still love to make a fashion statement in how I dress. You are the “fashion diva” for all of us, please consider this request.

    • Jessie258 says:

      I don’t have a comment about this but I didn’t know how to comment on a pair of boot cut jeggings in the mocha color. I have over 10 pairs of your DG2 jeans but this pair was so thin in the thigh area that a hole came in it and since I had these for awhile, I couldn’t get anything done about it. I didn’t wear these as much as the indigo jeans. But they were cheaply made and they DID fade and I wash all clothes in cold water. I was very disappointed in them.

    • Lady4Peace says:

      You are absolutely correct. There are many of us that have had surgeries (I’ve had 9 abdominal surgeries) and cannot wear the conventional jeans. Jeggings with the appliques would be great!!

      MS Diane…I surely hope you give this some serious consideration. You’d designed regular skinny jeans…on the sides were three rows of gold studs. I drooled over these…but couldn’t make the purchase due to them not being jeggings. They were stunning…to say the least.

  • Gabriellyn says:

    Diane, please start adding more size P2 in the colors besides black, gray and dark blue. Every time I go to order the other colors, i.e. pink, blue, orange, white……they’re always out. Is there any way you can please start making more for the petite ladies. I got black and gray stretch denim skinny jeans and I love them. I’d wear them every day if I could, they’re so comfortable and they look good. I’d just like to have a better color selection, that’s all. Thanks if you’re listening.

  • TerriG710 says:

    DIANE ARE YOU LISTENING TO US???? What happened to the bootcut jeggings? You have so many followers who loved these pants and all of a sudden they are gone and we are left trying to find something equivelant somewhere else. Your jeans do not fit some of us and the jeggings allowed us to have stylish jeans to fit our odd shaped bodies. Why take a great thing away? Although I would much more prefer you to bring them back at least respond to us.

  • hijinks says:

    This is the second pair of DG2 Jeans that have been too short. The size chart says 3 Reg…..inseam 31 1/2″. The pair I received is 29″ which is a petite. The tall is 33 1/2″ which is too long.

    So….do I order 8Tall or 8Reg.

    I have previously purchased these jeans with no issues. Please check your quality control

  • I dont know if Diane Gilman even reads these comments, but I wanted to blog here because it seems that she is not responding to any of the negative remarks about her jeggings. I, as many others have bought her other jeans and loved them. Then now all of a sudden everytime she comes out with jeggings as a TVS, they are really terrible. I dont know what has happened to the quality and fashion that she so adamantly speaks about. But these pants are not made for us boomers. They do not fit.

    • deeza says:

      I agree with euroshopper153 that her jeans are not the same as
      in the past. Her quality has gone downhill. I purchased on
      4 different occasions and each order went back. The material was thin, not cut right, or too short in length so they went back. I do not order her clothing anymore…just listening to
      her voice makes me cringe….it’s just a sell sell sell tone.
      The pricing has also gone up and the quality definitely “DOWN”.

  • kadair says:

    Diane— I have been trying to find the white top with mesh sleeves that is being shown with the grey jeans item #179-183. It is not on your web site. I am very interested in this top. Could you please let me know the details. Thanks Kay Adair

  • LeSoleil845 says:

    Diane,
    I LOOOOVE all of your printed chiffon poncho from previous ones to new ones. However, I hope someday you come’ll up with ones that have little bit shorter lenghth and wings or sleeves.

  • JAGDKM says:

    PLEASE bring back the zebra dress before summer is over! It sold out so fast I didn’t get a chance to order it in time! Love it!

  • claddah says:

    Hey Diane—Ordered a pair of the cropped jeggings , in black. I was however, shocked to see so many Sleeveless tunic tops !! As a designer , YOU should know , that MANY of us Boomers DO NOT LIKE showing our upper arms. We don’t all have arms like Madonna . I DO Love the actual Design of the tops—long length, but it would be Great if you could bring them back , with a short/cap sleeve.

  • fran920 says:

    I love everything about your jeans, the fit, the wash, the feel and the look. I do have a favor to ask of you, last year I purchased only 1 pair of the boot cut jeans in the color aqua, they look like they were sunkissed. They are aqua/turquoise on the inside, and kind of faded looking on the outside. I would like to know will you ever bring these back again, I would love to have them in purple/lavender, pink and yellow. Please bring these back again. God Bless you, Fran

  • Posh52 says:

    The other evening when you were on, I was saying to myself that I wish you would make skinny cropped jeggings with an elastic waist and the next thing I knew you were saying they are coming this weekend. I am so excited! I love, love, love your jeggings! Please keep them coming. I like the look of a cropped pant without the flare on the bottom. They looked great on you!

  • mangwi says:

    Iam waiting for the 25th and am hoping that you will bring jeggings in summer colors. i love jeggings and need them in different colors not just black, bright colors

    • Well, she has brought in these jeggings and they looked wonderful on TV. But when you got them home (I ordereded them and returned them), they are all sized differently, short crotches and fit terrible. Just go and read the reviews. I think that is really a sign that her quality is going down the tube. Diane started out with wonderful fit and fashions, but is now giving all that away trying to be cheap. Its a shame really.

  • sissy999 says:

    I was wondering if you could make a maxi skirt. Since maxis are in and your material is unbelievable I think it would be a match made in heaven
